Four stars, Lady Mera! That's pretty good. That's downright commendable!

"If you don't mind me asking, any reason for why you came here then?"

"Shockwood? Never heard about it... Is it far?"

"Not a fan of here? Can't blame you... I hate it to." Mostly because she is a wanted woman...

"Nice meeting you Black." She was going to offer a handshake but hesitate.

"Understandable. I'm Mera by the way." May as well present herself.

"You didn't say civil war... that changes a lot." While a civil war is an infight... the scale is much bigger.

"But from what you said, it sounded like it was some government... Surely it doesn't disband that easily?"

"Really? The organization just collapsed?" Considering how incompetent the governments Mera know are... It was hard to imagine anything collapsing on itself.

Cool, Mera, a criminal on the run, talking with someone who once worked as an enforcer for some government?... "Nice... I was once a museum guide..."

"Sounds like your government was pretty heavy on the whole surveillance thing... And you worked for them?"

"Maybe we are rarer where you are from? Or we don't exist there? I don't know to be honest. Traveling far isn't pretty when your special power is being frail."

"Regional?... About one in every five people has one, give or take. The minority, but still pretty common... The word you get is very random however." No one would have chosen her word otherwise...

"You see, an Epithet is a word inscribed on someone's soul. Mine is 'Fragile', so my whole body is weak." Not to mention the constant agony... Like the headaches...

"I do... But not every epithet is a good one. Mine is the reason I can't get out very much."

Mera looked at Black again... clearly something wrong with her, not only looked a bit sick, but also had headache. But since she didn't look like someone who wanted to talk about it, she just let it go. "Just my recomendation."

"This is the brand that works the best for me, the others are a bit too weak. Just in case you don't know already." She pointed to the one she was picking up.

"Yes... otherwise my head will never stop. Not that it does anyway."

"I know how it is..." Mera was grabbing more medicine for her headache than anything else...

"Chronic?" Mera knew how chronic headache looked like on someone.

Mera did notice Black looking at the medicine... She sighed... "Need one?"

"Fair enough... not so sure even I want to know..." She is just going to pick up her headache medicine and take a couple... This is already giving her a migraine.

"Then what DO you have? Clearly you don't look well..." Was she right? Was she really sick?

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙, 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧? 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙩?" 🛩𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧/𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 🛩𝐍/𝐒𝐅𝐖 | 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁/𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀 🛩𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 | 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 | 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘀/𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗼 𝗗𝗡𝗜 #OC #Fandomless #MVRP

"You don't know what an epithet is?... It's a special power from a word on those inscribed... Not everyone has one, but I assumed you did."

"Are you telling me you don't have one?" She was so convinced she would have, considering the appearance, not only that but Mera thought she could recognize someone who struggled with their own epithet like her.

"Bad epithet?" She knows from experience how bad some of those can be.

"No... quite the opposite, I would say." By that, she means the gloomy vibe. Not that Mera was any better.

"Then you, being in the sun, doesn't really prove much, does it? Not to mention the veins, again."

"Isn't there a movie where vampires can stand in the sunlight?"

"You pointed my paleness, why can I not point yours? Are you a vampire?"

"Are you sick?..." She ignored that, Black didn't look like someone who spent most of her time inside like Mera.

"What about you? You also look a bit pale... are those veins purple?" Black looked more like a vampire than Mera...

"I have to go out for groceries at some point. Even if I'd rather just buy everything I can online." She really didn't like leaving her house, did she?

"I was just sheltered most of my life, and even now I avoid going out." Now it is because she escaped jail...

"I'm not a vampire... I just can't get out too much..." Mera just stays way too long inside.

You may wanna dry your hair first? Just to not wet the dragon.

I didn't even know you could make a dragon... I only ever saw birds or other simple things.

He is alone but he can do fine on his own for a while. I haven't checked on his origami lessons...

// Can't believe this account was found...

Sure, anything really. You sounded bored over phone and didn't had power. Figured since I wasn't doing anything I could just swing by to help.

(Mera closes her umbrella and places it next to the other.) Yeah, it is storming a lot outside, no wonder your power is out... Even if it is the only house in the street without power.

It was... quite a lot... where can I put the umbrella?

Oh... good... [She was slightly wet, even with the umbrella...]

Hi Tessa, did I took too long?

(Arriving and knocking on the door.)

(Mera makes her way over to Tessa's place, she took a bit since she wanted to be safe and not slip in the rain...)

I'm on my way then. See you in a couple of minutes.

It doesn't, it should be fine. I'm coming over, okay?
